5 best beauty buys for $20 + giveaway

I got an amazing response to my post on 5 Best Beauty Buys for $5 (don't worry there will be more of those), and received a bit of feedback asking for some of my best beauty splurges. While I would have to say hands down the BEST beauty splurge I have ever made is the Clarisonic MIA, I wanted to stay around the $20 price range because Bloom.com (Which I am a beauty ambassador for, post HERE) is so generously giving 5 different readers $20 to spend on Bloom! 

So here are some of my favorite all time products that can all be purchased on Bloom.com and all around the $20 range (you can also purchase the MIA on Bloom too!).

1. It's a 10 Miracle Shine Spray 

I had heard about this brand all over the blogs for a long time but was hesitant to spend the money. One day I just bought this shine spray on a splurge and I totally regret it because now I'm addicted! The smell is SO AMAZING, and practically makes my hair glow! I use it in my hair after I am finished using heat on it, and I get so many compliments on my hair and how healthy and shiny it looks. What I like most about this is that is adds shine without making it look greasy which a lot of shine products tend to do.

2. Tweezerman Slant Tweezer

I never really understood how there could be good tweezers and bad tweezers until I bought these off Bloom recently. Being my first pair of Tweezerman tweezers I was blown away with the ability for these to get even the teeniest of hairs. Not only do they grab those pesky little hairs, but I only need to pull once because these tweezers don't lose grip. Makes tweezing kinda fun if you can believe that. And the colors, so cute!

3. Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum

I first got a sample of this serum in one of my beloved Birchboxes and was instantly obsessed! I had a hard time finding a blemish treatment that was gentle enough on my sensitive skin but still managed to help clear the pesky things. I was amazed with my results and bought the full size immediately! After using it for a while now I have also learned it helps to heal acne scars AND can be used all over the face to prevent blemishes or as a spot treatment. Did I mention it's Organic?! Win, Win.

4. Beauty Blender Sponge

Once again I saw this cute little sponge all over the beauty blogs and was hesitant to try it because of its price. One day while browsing Target I found a dupe from Sonia Kashuk and decided it was worth it. I immediately understood what everyone was raving about and once I had to replace that sponge I decided to splurge for the real deal Beauty Blender. This sponge is literally a genius! If you wear foundation or concealer this little guy is a MUST! I am constantly being asked how I get my foundation to look so natal and flawless, well this is how. Hands down the best way to hide a pimple is to use this to blend your concealer.

5. Pixi Eye Bright Liner

You know the old interior painting trick to open up a room and make it feel bigger, by painting one wall a lighter shade than the rest? Well that trick works with the eyes as well! I picked up this little liner to do exactly that, and fell in love with how easy it went on and the color tone. Especially when I'm looking extra sleepy, I line my bottom lash line or waterline with this and instantly look awake and bright. I even use this right under my brows (buff it in) to add some definition and arch to them.
